Abstract:
| This report provides an updated geological map and details on the mineralogy and chemistry of two specific rock units within the area and their mineral potential: copper porphyry potential within the Jurassic Island intrusive suite (JI) and platinum group metals (PGM) potential within a newly discovered magnetite-rich layer within the lower Jurassic, layered ultramafic phase (lJum) of the JI. |
